Baby Bjorn safe to use while flying?

[CrazyLady]

I am pretty sure i read that most airlines won't let you use baby carriers while flying. I think it's in case of emergency they can get the baby asap if needed. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please ......

I was under the same impression as well Crazylady - baby carriers arent allowed.

Unfort if you missed out on the bassinet you will most probably just have to hold him for the duration of the flight.

Unfortunately you are not allowed to use baby carriers during a flight, As CrazyLady said it's to do with their in case of emergency procedures. I know you can bring a carseat for them to travel in but then obviously you would have to purchase an extra ticket.

Yep, they're not allowed. I always though this was unfair until an air hostess explained it's because if you need to put on a life jacket, you need to get bub out first and there may not be time.

Not to be different, but I've used my baby carrier (close baby carrier then ergo) on every flight that I've been on. I'm not allowed to use it for take off and landing but once we are up in the air it's no problem.

I find that by having a seat up against the window and using a pillow I can get pretty comfy when holding him. I even managed a snooze.

Thanks everyone, just got off the phone to Qantas and was told that Baby Bjorn is fine to use during flight but Murphy's Law we'll get on board to find that we're not allowed! Will give it a shot.

I used my hug a bub to carrY J onto the plane, then took him out for take off, put the seatbelt onhim, then after take off, put him back in, had to take him out and put seatbelt back on for landing as well.
